Dresden: Prayers for the Living and the Dead

Mass Murder in Dresden 

Prayers for the Living and the Dead

February 13 and 14, 2023: we call to mind the unquenchable fire unleashed on a German city. 

We supplicate for the victims of ego. 

And the pity of it is, our prayers are made ever new, because war is a perpetual racket. 

By Michael Hoffman

[Five Days of our Dresden Mass Murder Commemoration are online in installments: Day One, Day Two, Day Three, Day Four, Day Five]

The bombing began seventy-eight years ago Feb. 13 and 14th, Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday,1945. From the point of view of the homicidal maniacs in London and Washington Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Gras"), was an auspicious day for killing German mothers and children—they would be traveling to and from the carnival festivities prior to the start of Lent on that doomed day in Saxony. 

In this column we reserve February 13 and 14, 2023 as a time for grieving and contemplation, rather than scientific, historiographical or statistical argument and analysis. We undertook the latter work in the preceding five days.

Now we pray for the living and the dead (as a Catholic I pray for the dead, as some Anglicans do. I am not a theologian and do not wish to entertain a debate on the matter).

In the 1980s German television filmed a documentary series. In English the title would be something like “No Roof Over the Reich” (my German is awful and I won’t hazard a translation). Back then, survivors of the Dresden holocaust, obviously still devastated people even forty years later, testified in that documentary to the horror they had lived. There was a group session in one film segment and one lady survivor, God bless her heart, lit into Churchill’s prestige with great passion, crying out that he had remorselessly ordered the bombing of hospitals, schools, homes and churches. “No Roof Over the Reich” should be made available for streaming and on DVD, and translated into other languages besides German. It contains genuine  testimony of Allied war crimes from anguished, shattered survivors, without any temporizing or weasel words.

In the 1990s, the families of this writer and a revisionist colleague met in Dresden, New York on February 14. We observed silence, lit candles and meditated. Months later in that very same hamlet on the shores of Seneca Lake, I encountered three young tourists from Dresden, Germany.  I apologized to them for America’s part in the bombing. They seemed startled and were nearly speechless.

Today and tomorrow are not days for many words. Silent contemplation. Consideration of what type of world we inhabit, where some victims have far more rights and incomparably more remembrance and commemoration than others. 

What are the “lessons of the Holocaust”? 

What are the lessons of Dresden? 

One lesson would seem to be the ravages wrought by the egos of the victors, confident in their own righteous and unlimited wrath.  

For this writer, some insight into the infinitude of that ego is found in the volumes that have devoured my days and nights:  I have spent hundreds of hours reading and studying, more perhaps than I should, the two-tiered human / less-than-human teaching of the Babylonian Talmud, which drifted into the echelon of the Church of Rome through the mandate Medici Pope Leo X gave to the master printer Daniel Bomberg in Venice (despite his name, Bomberg was a gentile), to create the finest Talmud edition ever published. From there, the two-tiered human / less-than-human mental fog materialized as “Catholic” Hermeticism and Kabbalism, then Rosicrucianism, and “Protestant” Freemasonry. The two tier system is not confined to one wing of Christendom, nor is it proprietary to the Left or the Right. It is a universal solvent for the destruction of the soul. 

Obstreperous, fiercely independent George Orwell ripped its habiliments to shreds in his fable, Animal Farm. Members of Abraham Lincoln’s inner circle (including Thurlow Weed and William Seward, among others), battled it. Later John F. Kennedy confronted the same dragon, the secret society dichotomy of insiders who are human, and outsiders who are said to be less so. At the command of official history we are misled into believing that the doctrine’s nearly exclusive exponents were the diabolic Hitler and his criminal Nazis. 

How then do we explain the Cambridge Apostles, Britain’s elite secret society? Their members included Gerald Balfour (brother of Arthur Balfour, architect of the Zionist usurpation in Palestine), Victor Rothschild, John Maynard Keynes, sexual predator Lytton Strachey, and Stalin’s traitors inside the British government (Guy Burgess, Sir Anthony Blunt, John Cairncross, and Guy Liddell). All had been “Apostles,” i.e. initiated and indoctrinated ruling class luminaries. These “enlightened” products of the crème de la crème of society, were taught the Talmudic duality that there are two classes of beings on earth, the humans and those who only resemble them. 

The Left would have us believe that this occult conceit is limited to the fever swamp of the Klan and the neo-Nazis. They assume that we too are non-entities, without knowledge of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Johannes Reuchlin, without awareness of the Cambridge Apostles, whose self-exaltation was reflected in this eternal Talmudic dualism: in the Cambridge dichotomy, all who were not apostles were “phenomena.” In other words, insiders like the Cambridge Apostles were the reality. The rest of us "outsiders" are mere phantoms. (In Freemasonry non-initiates are deprecated as "cowans"). 

The spirit that coalesced in Babylon is yet older — older than the pyramids where it first found systematized theological foundation in the state religion of the dog-headed deity of the Pharaohs, and of Hermes Trismegistus and goddess Isis, who made their infernal way to the papal apartments in the Renaissance, where they were secretly venerated by turncoat pontiffs and prelates five hundred years before the Pachamama idols fulfilled the same function under Pope Francis.

The tale of the serpent is a long peregrination across the sands of time, from primeval Memphis to Dresden by way of London and New York. Out of that cauldron emanated the fire that roasted the Saxons alive, done in by the dragons of the Anglo-Saxons, a fratricidal, Mephistophelian irony.  

Over the past five days we have endeavored to recall the reality of the Dresden apocalypse through the words of David Irving, John Wear and in the mournful music of Rudolf Mauersberger, which will be played today in Dresden and to which we have harkened as we wrote these words.

In attempting to marshal facts and evidence, analysis and arguments to testify to the fact that, without detracting from the horrendous crimes the Nazis perpetrated against Judaic civilians, Dresden was also a diabolic war crime, we have no way of knowing whether we have failed or succeeded, persuaded or merely antagonized.

1952: Dresden city center still in ruins seven years after the inferno

Where, then, does that leave us over these next two days, as we call to mind the unquenchable fire of hell unleashed on a helpless German city, wherein the dragons flew unopposed, and seared with equal glee the blond braids from the heads of the German carnival children, and the gray hairs on the heads of their grandmothers?

How many will read our five day commemorative, compared with the audience Prof. Lipstadt, Steven Spielberg, the New York Times and the cable television networks command? Their omission of Dresden from the roll of sanctified victims leaves no trail. Invisibility by its nature goes undetected. 

Dresden was no holocaust, they say; it is undeserving of the distinction; to state otherwise is “mythology.”

Over the past five days we have made a factual case. But that is not where we permit the matter to rest today.

Ultimately, the matter does not rest in “the facts,” as important as they surely are. Here we claim the sanction of the survivors of the Nazi Judeocide, who have often rejected what they consider the limitations of revisionist reason. 

If we cut through the diversionary rhetoric, in the view of the Establishment, Dresden doesn’t rate as a war crime because the people of that city "got what they deserved." If we peer through the circumlocutions and moral embroidery, it comes down to their belief that the Allies engaged in the justifiable homicide of "criminal" women, children and elderly, and collective guilt. 

The people of Dresden were not guilty, of course. But historians Richard Evans, Sinclair McKay, Deborah Lipstadt and the legion of academics who take their cues from them, suggest and hint that they were guilty, and they premise their prosecutorial case on legal reasoning. Circumstantial evidence, they proclaim, points to the women, children and elderly males of Dresden being Nazis, or Nazi helpers, or Nazi sympathizers, or their sadly corrupted offspring. But the fact is they were innocent human beings, like innocent Dmitry in The Brothers Karamazov, who looked guilty in the cold glare of courtroom logic. 

So it comes down to who you believe.

Only those who have the intuition of the heart, not the arguments marshaled by those who have the eye and ear of Allied prosecutors and their publishing monopolies, know the truth. We intuit that upwards of 125,000 of German civilians, and refugees fleeing Stalinist Russia, were burned alive in Dresden. The Dresdeners have been convicted falsely. 

The super-structure of our adversary’s rationality isn’t sufficient for discerning the truth of Dresden. 

If it takes a leap of faith to believe that somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred twenty-five thousand innocent human beings suffered mass slaughter in Dresden, then that is what we invoke.

Prayer

This day in February 2023 I see, I feel, I absorb, I take into my innermost being, the fire that does not die.

The fire that traveled from Dresden to Gaza to Beirut and Baghdad, killing the Arab mothers and fathers and progeny, is unquenchable.

Wherever hatred is kindled, wherever the other person is demonized and degraded, there will be found the innocent burning.

We pray for Dresden, for Hiroshima and Nagaski. We remember Beirut in the summer of 1982, when the unopposed Israeli air force, modeling itself after the RAF, bombed hospitals, schools and apartment blocks.

The Cryptocracy is all too ready to bomb us whenever we get out of line. They bombed their own people in Waco, Oklahoma City and on 9/11, and they would do it again, to achieve their esoteric objectives.

We pray for the dead of Auschwitz, yes, and of Dresden, because we subscribe to one humanity, in which we all share. This is of Christ.

We supplicate for the victims of ego. And the pity of it is, our prayers are made ever new because war is a perpetual racket; the most profitable there is, after compound interest.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord Jesus, and may the perpetual light shine upon them. Amen.

Dresden, capital of Saxony, before the Allied incineration

The People Who Were Burned to Ashes on Ash Wednesday

By Michael Hoffman

It was Shrove Tuesday, 1945 in the magnificent German art city of Dresden, which was packed with helpless Christian refugees fleeing the Red Army of the Stalinist USSR. Dresden’s native Lutheran and Catholic children, dressed in their festive Saxon folk costumes, were aboard a train taking them home after Mardi Gras parties at different points in the far-flung city. Still merry from the night’s festivities, they cavorted on the train prior to Ash Wednesday, which in 1945 fell on February 14, and the solemnities that would be observed even in wartime, in memory of the passion and death of Jesus. In the sky, Allied fighter planes caught sight of the civilian train and machine-gunned  the children inside, whose blood was soon pouring out of the wreckage.

This U.S.-British carnage registers almost not at all in the American mind. The mass murder in Dresden, lasting two days and killing at least 100,000 people, like the atomic holocaust in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, usually merits not much more than a few sentences or a single paragraph in the back pages of metropolitan newspapers, unlike "Holocaust Remembrance Day,” in April, which is observed with countless civic, educational and media events from the Vatican to the White House. Barely remembered are the German and Japanese victims of Allied war crimes.

In the spring of 1945, after prosecuting the mass murder in Dresden and every major German city, and with the end of the Second World War in sight in Europe, Winston Churchill began to consider his reputation in the post-war period, when the total 500,000 German innocents he ordered burned to death could come back to haunt him and indelibly stain his image. 

RAF Marshall Arthur Harris and historian David Irving, March 23, 1962

To distract from his own overwhelming culpability, on March 28, 1945 Churchill issued a scapegoating memo blaming the mass incineration on his own men of Bomber Command, and by implication, upon its commander, Arthur Harris, whose force would be denied a post-war campaign medal, and Harris a peerage. Harris and Bomber Command had been following Winston Churchill’s explicit orders, yet Churchill attempted to shift responsibility onto the corps of courageous airmen who had suffered among the highest casualties of any branch of the British military in the fight against Hitler.

Furthermore, Churchill, like many other unconscionable liars, propagated the lie that Germany was the first to saturate civilians with terror-bombs—at Guernica in Spain, on behalf of Franco’s forces, and in Rotterdam, during the war with Holland. 

In both cases Churchill stated that thousands had been killed. Even one death is regrettable of course, but less than 100 people were killed in Guernica and less than a thousand in Rotterdam, when the Luftwafe accidentally struck a margarine factory and the flammable liquid burned houses nearby. 

Churchill had declared that “thousands” died in Guernica, and that 30,000 perished in Rotterdam, which is more than what Deborah Lipstadt generally says died in the two-day inferno in Dresden (the absurdly low figure of 25,000 is now the officially fixed count to which the “news media” conform without deviation).

The Germans had pledged not to be the first to bomb civilian centers in Britain. Churchill had hoped they would carpet bomb London to give him the excuse to silence the large peace movement in England which was dogging him in 1940, at a time when the Germans had not dropped a single bomb on London, almost a year after Britain had declared war on Germany. 

The British Prime Minister obtained his pretext toward the end of August, 1940, when a lone, wayward German bomber “lost its way flying up the Thames” river. It had orders to attack an oil refinery, but instead dropped its bombs on London’s East End. No one was killed thankfully, but Churchill was elated. 

He had the excuse he needed to massively retaliate against Berlin, knowing Hitler would idiotically respond in kind, and that the British peace movement would vanish in the smoke and flames of the “Battle of Britain” and the “Blitz.” Winston was a clever Machiavellian who outfoxed Hitler and anticipated his Neanderthal, Pavlovian responses.

In retaliation for that lone Luftwaffe aircraft's non-lethal bombs in London, Churchill ordered a hundred bombers to attack Berlin. Royal Air Force (RAF) commanders warned him that the Luftwaffe would do the same to London.

At this juncture we pause to contemplate the bloody treason that was at the heart of Churchill’s shriveled soul: he wanted as many of his own English civilians in London to die as possible, so that he could point to their deaths as the justification for a total war against Germany, and this diabolic individual succeeded in his objective.

To this day the war crime the leaders of Britain and the United States perpetrated in Dresden is justified on the basis of the tired fable that “Germany did it first to Rotterdam and Guernica,” and “Look at the terror the Germans visited upon London.”

 Nothing that occurred in Guernica, Rotterdam, or for that matter London, begins to even approach the scale which the firebombs of the air forces of Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt inflicted on Dresden and numerous other German civilian cities.

On September 4, 1940 Hitler gave a speech in which he stated that if the “mad drunkard” Churchill continued to attack Berlin, the Germans were not going to stand by and take it. 

It was Neanderthal thinking on Hitler's part: you club me over the head and I will club you. The Nazi criminal was almost always successfully played by the masonic criminals at the heart of Britain’s ruling class. 

No matter what Churchill ordered, a wise German leader would have confined his air campaign to British military sites (Hitler's Luftwaffe never bothered to attack the aircraft factories that built Britain’s Lancaster bombers).

On September 6, the English people heard the ominous drone of a fleet of Luftwaffe planes flying up the Thames. Some 3,000 Londoners subsequently died. Now Churchill had what he wanted. 

You won’t find these facts in the multi-volume history Mr. Churchill wrote, or in the pages of the celebrated volumes of the conformist historians. To advance knowledge one ought to read and hear the dissident revisionists, particularly the demonized David Irving, who personally interviewed many of the key principals of the Second World War in the Atlantic theatre, and authored one of the first studies of the Dresden firebombing, The Destruction of Dresden.

Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt, has taken it upon herself to deny the casualty figure of 125,000 for Dresden, but God help any one of us who would have the temerity to apply the word “holocaust” to the mass murder by fire in Dresden. 

We challenge any reader to collect the legacy media’s descriptions of the bombing of Dresden from the 1990s onward and count how many of those reports truthfully term it a holocaust. We reckon next to zero. The fear is palpable. 

The extent to which we are imprisoned in an Orwellian dystopia of our own making is revealed when we consider the fact that it is generally regarded as highly insensitive or indeed “anti-Semitic” to apply the word "holocaust" to the German cities that were incinerated, or to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, even though those war crimes were holocausts by dictionary definition: “Destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire. Origin: Greek holokauston, from holos ‘whole’ and kaustos ‘burned.”

A half-million German civilians and three-quarters of a million Japanese civilians (including the victims of the March, 1945 fire-bombing of Toyko), were indeed burned to death. 

Churchill and his top military circle set afire the medieval cities of their German cousins, who only two generations before had comprised the royal blood within the House of the German-speaking Queen Victoria.

A thousand years of national and religious wars in Europe had not managed to wreak the destruction which Churchill and the American President Roosevelt directed against the cultural treasure houses of western civilization, in cities like Dresden. They tossed a match into Dresden as casually as a drooling meth addict would torch an apartment building for revenge on the landlord who had evicted him.

Yet “conservative Christian” American university professors and administrators in institutions of higher learning such as Michigan’s esteemed “conservative” Hillsdale College, which is the recipient of large donations from “Conservatives” seeking to preserve western civilization, have hallowed Churchill into a paragon of decency, valor and western leadership. The canonization of this mass murdering vandal is such a defect of vision as to be fatal spiritually, culturally and politically on a national scale.

If the powers that be decided, for example, that Russia in 2023needed to be fire-bombed, given sufficient pretext our “Conservatives” would do it all over again in the name of “civilization.” The blood of the innocent in Moscow and St. Petersburg would signify no more to the “Conservative" crusaders than the charred bodies of the civilians in the apocalyptic wreckage of Dresden.

American civilization in 2023 is not worthy of the name. We have the illusion of a civilization, which we cherish for our own aggrandizement and nostalgia.

The People Who Were Burned to Ashes on Ash Wednesday

The People Who Were Burned to Ashes on Ash Wednesday

Dresden, Germany, February, 1945

It was Shrove Tuesday, 1945 in the magnificent German art city of Dresden, which was packed with helpless Christian refugees fleeing the Red Army of the Stalinist USSR. Dresden’s native Lutheran and Catholic children, dressed in their festive Saxon folk costumes, were aboard a train taking them home after Mardi Gras parties at different points in the far-flung city. Still merry from the night’s festivities, they cavorted on the train prior to Ash Wednesday, February 14, and the solemnities that would be observed even in wartime, in memory of the passion and death of Jesus. In the sky Allied fighter planes caught sight of the civilian train and opened fire on the children inside, whose blood was soon pouring out of the wreckage.

This carnage registers almost not at all in the American mind. The holocaust in Dresden, lasting two days and killing at least 100,000 people, like the atomic holocaust in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, usually merits not much more than a few sentences or a single paragraph in the back pages of metropolitan newspapers, unlike “Yom HaShoah (יום השואה) Holocaust Remembrance Day,” in April, which is observed with countless civic, educational and media events, hosannahs, apologies and genuflections, from the Vatican to the White House. The barely remembered German and Japanese victims of Allied war crimes were of the wrong race and religion.

In the spring of 1945, after prosecuting the bombing holocaust against every major German city, and with the end of the Second World War in sight in Europe, Winston Churchill began to consider his reputation in the post-war period, when the memory of the 500,000 German innocents he ordered incinerated could come back to haunt him and stain his prestige. On March 28, 1945 he issued a deceitful, back-stabbing memo blaming the mass incineration on his own Bomber Command and by insinuation, upon its commander Arthur Harris, whose force would be denied a post-war campaign medal, and Harris a peerage. Harris and Bomber Command had been only following Winston Churchill’s explicit orders, yet Churchill attempted to shift responsibility onto the corps of airmen who had suffered among the highest casualties of any branch of the British military.

Churchill, like many others, endeavored to blame Germany for being the first to saturate civilians with terror-bombs —at Guernica in Spain on behalf of Franco’s forces, and in Rotterdam, during the war with Holland. In both cases Churchill stated that thousands had been killed. Even one death is regrettable of course, but less than 100 people were killed in Guernica according to historian David Irving, and less than a thousand in Rotterdam, when the Luftwafe accidentally struck a margarine factory and the flammable liquid burned houses nearby. Churchill had said “thousands” died in Guernica, and that 30,000 perished in Rotterdam, which is more than what Deborah Lipstadt says died in the two-day inferno in Dresden (the absurdly low figure of 25,000 is now the officially fixed count to which the “news media” comform without deviation).

The Germans had pledged not to be the first to bomb civilian centers in Britain.

At this juncture we pause to contemplate the bloody treason that was at the heart of Churchill’s soul: he wanted as many of his own English civilians in London to die as possible, so he could point to their deaths as the justification for a total war against Germany, and he succeeded in his objective. 

Some of the victims of the Allied holocaust in Dresden

To this day the war crime the leaders of Britain and the United States perpetrated in Dresden is justified on the basis of the tired fable that “Germany did it first to Rotterdam and Guernica,” and “Look at the terror the Germans visited upon London.” Nothing that occurred in Guernica, Rotterdam, or for that matter London, begins to even approach the scale of the holocaust that the firebombs of the air forces of Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt inflicted on Dresden.

On September 4, 1940 Hitler gave a speech in which he stated that if the “mad drunkard” Churchill continued to attack Berlin, the Germans were not going to stand by and take it. It was Neanderthal thinking on the führer’s part: you club me over the head and I will club you. Hitler was almost always outfoxed by the clever machinations of the masonic treachery at the heart of Britain’s ruling class. No matter what Churchill ordered, Hitler should have limited his air campaign to British military sites and munitions factories (the Luftwaffe never bothered to attack the factories that built Britain’s Lancaster bombers). 

On September 6 the English people heard the ominous drone of a fleet of Luftwaffe bombers flying up the Thames. Some 3,000 Londoners subsequently died. Now Churchill had what he wanted. You won’t find these facts in the multi-volume history he wrote, or in the pages of the work of the conformist historians. To learn the truth one must read and study the revisionists, particularly the demonized David Irving, the preeminent military historian of World War II in the Atlantic theatre.

Irving’s nemesis, Deborah Lipstadt meanwhile, has taken it upon herself to deny the holocaust casualty figure of 100,000 for Dresden, but God help any one of us who would have the temerity to doubt the Six Million casualty figure of Holocaustianity, or even to apply the word “holocaust” to what happened in Dresden. 

We challenge any reader to collect the legacy media’s descriptions of the bombing of Dresden from the 1990s onward and count how many term it a holocaust. The extent to which we are imprisoned in an Orwellian dystopia of our own making is revealed when we consider the fact that it is regarded as highly insensitive or indeed “anti-Semitic” to violate the self-appointed Newspeak holocaust trademark appropriated by the Holy People, and apply it to the German cities that were incinerated, or to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, even though those war crimes were genuine holocausts by dictionary definition: “Destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire. Origin: Greek holokauston, from holos ‘whole’ and kaustos ‘burned.”

Even in the liturgy of Holocaustianity it is not decreed that most Judaic victims of the Nazis perished by fire. A half-million German civilians and three-quarters of a million Japanese civilians (including the victims of the fire-bombing of Toyko), were indeed burned to death, yet it is a thought crime to say so. Tell me we are not all cowards for allowing truth itself to be forbidden. We live in Talmudic times.

This writer is sometimes accused, as a researcher in the field of the Babylonian Talmud, of seeing the Talmud where it is not.  It is not so much the Talmudic texts themselves that we observe in our society, but the results of their influence. The single most remarkable dimension of Talmudic halacha is its narcissistic exceptionalism, born of the self-worship it inculcates. Prof. Lipstadt, who has made an career out of stigmatizing anyone who doubts any aspect of the “Holocaust” narrative, as a diabolic “Holocaust denier,” is free to deny, without negative consequences, the holocaust in Dresden, because of her exceptional status as one of the Holy People. She may do as she likes with history, in ways that the rest of us may not. For that reason alone we cannot respect the religion of Holocaustianity. It is not history. It is a product of Talmudic megalomania. Few of us tolerate fanatical egoism from Catholics, Protestants or Muslims. The very idea raises our secular indignation and “Separation of Church (or Mosque) and State!” is our cry, in the face of it. But to shout “Separation of Synagogue and State!” in nations where Holocaustianity is the last truly believed state religion in the otherwise agnostic West, would be unthinkable for anyone who valued their reputation, employment, personal safety, or in Europe, freedom from incarceration.

Beyond the “Jew and gentile” entanglement is the fratricide: Churchill and his top military circle were not Judaic, yet they set afire the medieval cities of their German cousins, who only two generations before had comprised the royal blood within the House of the German-speaking Queen Victoria. 

A thousand years of national and religious wars in Europe had not managed to wreak the destruction which Mr. Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt directed against the cultural treasure houses of western civilization, in cities like Dresden. They tossed a match into Dresden as casually as a drooling meth addict would torch an apartment building for revenge on the landlord who had evicted him.

Yet “conservative Christian” American university professors and administrators in institutions of higher learning such as Michigan’s esteemed Hillsdale College, which is the recipient of millions of dollars in donations from “Conservatives” seeking to preserve western civilization, have hallowed Churchill into a paragon of decency, courage and western leadership. This view of this mass murdering vandal is such a defect of vision as to be fatal spiritually, culturally and politically on a national scale.

If the powers that be decided, for example, that Russia needed to be fire-bombed, given sufficient pretext our “Conservatives” would do it all over again in the name of “civilization.” The blood of the innocent in Moscow and St. Petersburg would signify no more to the Hillsdale College type of crusaders than the charred bodies of the civilians in the apocalyptic wreckage of Dresden.

American civilization in 2018 is not worthy of the name. We have the illusion of a civilization, which we cherish for our own aggrandizement and nostalgia. “Conservative” America has made common cause with the Talmudic mentality, as did Antonin Scalia, another of its plaster saints.

As we approach the start of Lent 2020, seventy-five years after the Allies’ mass murder in Dresden, we inhabit the money changer’s house, where Christ on the Cross is sold not just for a buck, but for a bucket of Talmudic vindication.
